    This is a very beautiful historical building. I think it’s great that people are taking care of the buildings and giving them some love. I believe that if the damage to the building is repaired, many generations will still be able to enjoy it.

    Finger tips are very unique. I’ve accidentally cut my finger tips off a couple times, a major slice into my thumb once, and even the scars fade away over time. It’s crazy how the body just rebuilds the finger tip over time.

    Good insights. I see money as a whimsical, transitional resource. Its value changes all the time, usually for the worse - you can buy less with the same amount a few years down the road. So, invest in tangible stuff that will likely appreciate in value, something with potential high demand over time.
    Getting connections, especially people with useful resources, is crucial. Barter economy is underappreciated, while being useful.
    My personal recent story, I have a friend nerd who is a programmer and was a vintage tech aficionado. I did a complete restoration of a low-ish professional grade espresso machine (like those you find in cafeterias) for him, normally I'd ask 500 PLN for that job but I happily went down to 200 plus a bunch of vacuum tubes that would be pretty useful to me.
    Smiling and depression? Ouch. I know that all too well... Don't let appearances and silly stereotypes define who you are.

      @@RinoaL I am a janitor and just got back from winter service. Here, all doors would be open to you. Someone like you could also choose an apprenticeship, which lasts three years and is a combination of theory and practice. After that, you would be a highly qualified tradesperson. During those three years, the pay is lower, but it’s enough to live on, and you still get health insurance and a pension. It’s not even possible here to work without such insurance. German apprenticeships are also highly respected worldwide.
      I don’t have one myself and started out as a dishwasher, but today I am a partner in a company and earn very good money doing just janitorial work.

    Chaotic, perhaps, but this was a nicely comprehensive and relatable update, thank you!
    Good to hear you're doing reasonably well, and I hear you on the stress thing.
    Stress is like a constant background hum anymore, it seems. Making my beard turn grey, it is.
    I'm finding it to be a struggle to spend less time on the computer or sleeping and more time fixing things to make money at work! Plus balancing work-related repairs with repairs of mine and my family's vehicles. (I live with my parents and sister as I'd likely be homeless otherwise)
    I could be making money quite nicely at work if I could just adjust my sleep schedule to get there earlier than mid-day to mid-afternoon. (since I'm an outside contractor rather than a full-time employee I set my own hours)
    Just rather hard to have the get up and go sometimes, and this time of year especially.
    Anyhow, thanks for the look behind the curtain as it were, it helps to hear that other people are pushing forward despite similar struggles.

    When I lived in the Caribbean the heat was so bad for me, I got the idea to try heat sinks from desk top CPU's. I planned on fitting them into holes cut into an old T shirt, the sweat and oil from my skin would make a good enough heat sink compound, and I hopped the passive air going by the heat sinks would be enough so I did not need a fan on them. I got as far as saving a box full of heat sinks, then got a job working in air conditioning. Never built the shirt, I always wondered if it would have worked.

    • @RinoaL
      @RinoaL  หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Heatsinks only get to the same temperature as the air, meanwhile sweat evaporating can get to a lower temperature than the surrounding air if the humidity isn't 90%. As it is, the human body works more efficiently if it just has some airflow.
